First gear: Starting gear, used for vehicle startup. Second gear: Passing gear, mainly used for navigating complex road conditions and handling challenging situations, such as sharp-angle (right-angle) turns without special obstacles, densely populated and bustling road sections, steep slopes, and bumpy roads. Third gear: Transition gear, primarily used for low-speed driving in urban areas. Fourth gear: Driving gear, mainly used for prolonged high-speed driving. Fifth gear: High-speed gear, primarily used for long-distance highway driving. Below are additional tips: Manual transmission shifting techniques: 1. Memorize the manual transmission gear diagram: The gear layout of manual transmission cars follows a few common patterns. When seated in the driver's seat, the first thing you should do is glance at the gear diagram on the shift lever handle. Remember not to look down at the shift lever while driving, especially in urban areas and on highways, as looking down to shift can easily cause the vehicle to veer off course, often leading to accidents. 2. Master clutch pedal operation: Practice more to ensure smooth clutch pedal operation. Develop good habits: press the pedal all the way down and release it slowly.

What is the engine model of the 2018 Touran?

The engine of the 2018 Touran is a Volkswagen engine produced at the Lou Tang Engine Factory in Jiading District, Shanghai. The engine model of the 2018 Touran is EA211, with a maximum horsepower of 110, a maximum power of 81kw, and a maximum torque of 155nm. For daily maintenance of the 2018 Touran engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate; When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it remains suspended in the oil; when the amount is large, it precipitates from the oil, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Is Strong Adhesive Remover Harmful to Car Paint?

Strong adhesive remover is harmful to car paint. Introduction to strong adhesive remover: Prolonged use of adhesive remover can cause certain damage to car paint, making the paint soft and easily scraped off with a fingernail. If sprayed for a short duration, it won't harm the paint. The maximum recommended usage time for adhesive remover should not exceed one minute; around 30 seconds is sufficient. For adhesive removal, using essential balm or alcohol to wipe is effective. The method involves soaking a cloth with essential balm, moistening the adhesive, and then wiping it clean in a clockwise circular motion. Car paint maintenance tips: Do not wash the car too frequently; once a month is adequate. Frequent washing can cause the cleaning cloth to rub against the paint, leading to damage over time. Any scratches on the paint should be addressed promptly, as they can develop small rust spots over time. If not treated, the rust can spread and, in severe cases, damage the primer. Avoid leaving the car parked outdoors for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, consider using a car cover.

Where is the Mercedes-Benz wiper located?

The wiper switch of Mercedes-Benz vehicles is located on the left side of the steering wheel, combined with the light control on a single lever. Mercedes-Benz wipers have an automatic intermittent mode that allows adjustment of the wiping frequency, which changes according to the vehicle speed. When the wiper lever is set to the automatic intermittent mode, the wiper will adjust its frequency based on the preset setting and the vehicle speed. Wipers, also known as windshield wipers, are devices used to remove rain and dust from the vehicle's windshield, improving driver visibility and enhancing road safety. Precautions for using wipers: Check if the upper and lower wipers swing in sync; if not, correct them promptly. If the wiper makes a heavy "squeaking" noise during operation, it may indicate improper adjustment or excessive pressure. If water streaks remain on the windshield after several wipes, the rubber blade may be worn and need replacement. Never operate the wipers on a dry windshield, as this can damage both the wiper and the glass, especially if sand or debris is present. Regularly lubricate the wiper joints to reduce mechanical friction. Remove debris from the windshield before using the wipers, as accumulated leaves or twigs can cause damage. Avoid forcibly peeling frozen wipers or pouring hot water, as this may tear the wiper blade or crack the windshield. Instead, start the vehicle, turn on the heater, and direct warm air toward the windshield to thaw the wipers. Additionally, in winter, always use antifreeze windshield washer fluid. Choose a type suitable for your region's temperature—for extremely cold northern areas, opt for a special antifreeze formula that remains liquid even at -40°C.

Why is the Stella double wishbone not for sale?

Stella double wishbone can be purchased. Introduction to double wishbone: Double wishbone suspension is a type of independent suspension, also known as double A-arm or double wishbone (double wishbone) suspension. In the West, during Christmas, people like to eat turkey, and when eating, they make a wish on a bone from the turkey. This bone, which resembles the letter A, is called the wishbone. The A-shaped wishbone on the double wishbone suspension is quite similar to this wishbone, hence the name double wishbone. Shape of double wishbone: The double wishbone suspension has two unequal-length upper and lower wishbones. The arms of the double wishbone can be made into an A-shape or V-shape. The upper and lower V-shaped arms are installed on the wheel at a certain distance, with the other end mounted on the vehicle frame. The lateral force is absorbed by both wishbones simultaneously, while the strut only bears the weight of the vehicle body, resulting in high lateral stiffness.

What Should Be Placed on the Upper Right Corner of a New Car?

New cars require the placement of a compulsory traffic insurance label, an annual inspection label, and an environmental inspection compliance label on the upper right corner. Environmental Inspection Compliance Label: For motor vehicles that pass regular inspections in accordance with national standards for in-use vehicle pollutant emissions, an environmental inspection compliance label is issued. Compulsory Insurance Label: Compulsory vehicle insurance is mandated by laws and regulations for specified entities or individuals within the designated scope. It requires vehicle owners or managers to purchase corresponding liability insurance, thereby increasing the coverage of third-party liability insurance. In the event of an accident, compulsory traffic insurance can provide timely and basic protection for victims to the greatest extent possible. Motor Vehicle Inspection Compliance Label: A green environmental inspection compliance label (commonly known as a green label) is issued to motor vehicles equipped with spark-ignition engines (mostly gasoline or natural gas-powered vehicles) that meet National Standard I or above, and to motor vehicles equipped with compression-ignition engines (mostly diesel-powered vehicles) that meet National Standard III or above. A yellow environmental inspection compliance label is issued to other motor vehicles that comply with the emission standards at the time of manufacture.

Do you need to watch traffic lights when making a U-turn?

If the gap is marked with a dashed line, the U-turn is not affected by traffic signals and does not require crossing the crosswalk. You can make a U-turn directly as long as it does not interfere with other normally moving vehicles and ensures your own safety. If the gap is marked with a solid line, then the U-turn must cross the crosswalk and is subject to traffic signals. If you need to cross the crosswalk to make a U-turn, you must yield to pedestrians: Pedestrians walking on the right side of the crosswalk have not reached the centerline of the road. Vehicles driving on the left side of the road should slow down and allow them to pass the crosswalk safely. Pedestrians waiting outside the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes. If they have not entered the roadway, vehicles should slow down and allow them to pass the crosswalk safely. When pedestrians cross the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles that do not stop are committing a violation and should be penalized. Pedestrians waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane. Vehicles that do not stop are committing a violation and should be penalized. Pedestrians crossing the centerline of the road and entering the motorized lane. Vehicles that do not stop are committing a violation and should be penalized. When the road is divided by a green belt, pedestrians waiting in the middle of the road must be yielded to by vehicles, which should slow down and pass the crosswalk safely. Conditions under which a U-turn is allowed: If there is a U-turn sign at the intersection, a U-turn is permitted. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. If there is no traffic light, make a U-turn based on the specific situation, ensuring it does not interfere with other vehicles or pedestrians. If there is no explicit prohibition of U-turns or left turns at the intersection, a U-turn is allowed. "No explicit prohibition" means there are no "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs, and the centerline is not solid. U-turns are also allowed on yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops. While stopping on yellow grid lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is prohibited, making a U-turn is allowed unless there is a central barrier. If there is a U-turn traffic light at the intersection, follow its instructions—only make a U-turn when the light is green. If "No Left Turn" and "U-turn Allowed" signs appear together, U-turns are permitted but left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn." Precautions when making a U-turn at an intersection: Observe road markings. If they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable spot. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign, even if there is no explicit "No U-turn" sign, U-turns are not allowed because U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, you cannot make a U-turn at that intersection. Always yield to through traffic when making a U-turn. If you interfere with through traffic, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near the intersection stop line, lanes usually have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane is not always a left-turn lane—some may have straight arrows. Even if there is no explicit prohibition, exercise caution.
